Per the Health Science Center Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOP) Chapter 9 - Facilities, Section 9.2 - University Facilities, Policy 9.2.4 - Utilities:

 

Using the most efficient means of energy, it is the administrative policy to provide and maintain an acceptable environment compatible with the goals and missions of the Health Science Center. The normal temperature setting for all areas is 75° F during routine hours. This is subject to adjustment to meet special requirements upon the request by the department Chair and review by Facilities Management. In order to conserve energy, to keep the range of temperature within appropriate standards, and to reduce fire hazards, no portable electric heaters may be used. Only permanently installed, or otherwise approved, supplemental heating is allowed. Persons who need supplemental heat should contact Facilities Management for investigation of that need. If additional heat is needed and cannot be supplied by adjustments in the usual heating system, supplemental heating should be supplied in the form of permanently installed heaters or other approved units.
